Acquired some bits off my export man, which might be destined for my new build, a nice pair of lockered up patrol gq axles ....Have a 3.2 lump, lpg kit, gearbox and loom etc, and some 38's on 12j's up my mates farm...just debating whether to build another shorty A or B, (have both bodyshells and chassis), or whether to start the chassis and then use a tf/brava double cab tray back...Either which way it would have to be 4 linked front and rear and caged (again!!!!)...
or...sell it all, and weld up the diffs on another 2.0i leafer and beat the hell out of it like normal! LOL

Also a V6 'A' series(ish) would be pretty sweet.

Well obviously build a monster! Road legal or not? I guess that'll make a big difference. If off road only then sod a body and go for a cage. If road legal then it has to be a MWB pickup with some form of hiab on the back for self righting and lifting obviously

I would stick with the cab section of a Brava etc. That decision is based purely on the British weather .. and the woods gets chuffing cold at times.

These axles are from a coil strung GQ, so will need links making up...I have some of the nissan suspension components also...will wait till I get all the bits up here and then scratch my head lots, for a couple of seconds, before I start cutting and welding...LOL

Don't forget to take lots of pics! Nothing worse than following someone making a monster and not knowing how it was done!
